The Darker Side

Chapter-25

As Mary went little closer Ashkira sensed her, she then took a deep breath, tightened her fist and starting shouting for Rhiya. Confused Rhiya ran towards her and asked her the matter but Ashkira didn't bother to reply her instead grasped her hand tightly and started pulling her to the main door because Ashkira knew that Rhiya will try to stop her and before they start provoking Rhiya to stop her she must take her away from Sameer's place.

"Ashu! What's the matter with you! Atleast give her a chance to speak so that she could prove herself. C'mon! stop your stupidity!  Ashkira stops right there As soon as Rhiya said those words and then she loosened her grip and jolted her hand with a force.

"Because of mum you are calling me stupid? you only tell me were you in my situation wouldn't you start hating them or start avoiding them? "

"Ofcourse! I would hate them but before hating them atleast I would have given them a single chance to prove themselves and moreover I would try to know the reason which triggered them to do such act."
And again a moment later Rhiya continued, "They are adults, they have the full rights to choose their partners and if your dad is okay with it then why the hell are you making the situation so complicated !"
  And as she opens her mouth to speak more she felt a sudden thump on her right cheek which made her mouth shut; it was Ashkira who slapped her.
After a second "Ru I'm sorry! Fine, I'll listen to them only for you." she speaks with  tearful eyes and "Ru! I am sorry"

Rhiya didn't say anything but points her to sit. Rhiya knew how to stop her and in order to stop her she had to use bitter words which worked to an extent. She didn't mind about the slap. For her, their situation was more important than the slap.

Ashkira didn't utter a single word but her body language clearly showed that she was ready to listen, that she was ready to open the mystery box of her life. That Rhiya's words finally worked.

On the other hand, Mary blinks at Rhiya and passed her a tender smile.
Sameer asked Mary to sit and then signed Rhiya to sit.

Sameer took a deep breath, takes off his jacket, adjusted his formal trouser and then sits on the couch. And directly looks at Ashkira and then he began, "Ashu, let's be short and simple, I won't take long. Let's start from the day when your dad entered in our life how things started to change."

Sameer rubbed his hands and passed her a weary smile and he starts.
